Wellesley Edged by Brandeis, 2-1
WELLESLEY, Mass. – Junior midfielder Sarah Jasak (Middletown,
N.J.) knocked in the game-winning goal in the 80th minute to lift
Brandeis (3-2) to a 2-1 victory over Wellesley (3-2) in a non-conference
match on Tuesday afternoon.
Senior captain Lisa Kaplin (Armonk, N.Y.) put the Judges on the
board early when she capitalized on a free kick by classmate and
fellow captain Brittany Douglass (Tarzana, Calif.). Douglass served
the ball into the box from just over the midline for Jasak to flick
on to Kaplin who finished in the sixth minute. The Judges continued
to pressure in the first half, out-shooting the host 16-1, but
could not convert on any opportunity.
The Blue turned on the pressure in the second frame, creating
opportunities in the offensive end. Dee Garrahan (Fairfax, Va.)
ripped a shot off a corner from Alison Carney (Healdsburg, Calif.)
only to have Douglass head the ball off the goal line. Wellesley
finally found the back of the net in the 78th minute when first-year
Haley Geller (Berkeley, Calif.) finished a ball that junior Amelia
Manderscheid (St. Paul, Minn.) had blasted off the crossbar.
Jasak, however, broke the tie just two minutes later, when sophomore
Jenna Lipawsky (Parkland, Fla.) slotted a ball into the box that
Jasak pushed past the Wellesley keeper Katie Martore (Great Falls,
Va.)
Martore stopped 14 shots for the Blue, while the Judge’s
keeper Amber DeBole picked up seven saves in the win. Wellesley
will return to action on Thursday when the team travels to Coast
Guard for its first conference game of the season slated for a
7 PM start, while Brandeis will host Gordon that same day also
under the lights at 7 PM.
